This represents a Modern Fantasy because it would not be possible in real life. Lions and bears cannot talk in real life. It is mostly pretend, but holds a bit of truth for us to be able to believe it. The media used in this book is watercolors. Marcus, the bear, is the protagonist and we know this because of how the author focuses on Marcus throughout the story. Marcus has many adventures and is the one who "rescues" Lionel. Marcus is revealed through his actions, interactions, the narrator, and his appearance. This book is best for Primary level students.
